<SOLVED> HTMLView Driving me crazy :(

[DeBritto]

Hi,
 I was using HTMLView component with Lazarus and it was working like a charm. For any reason, that I still dont know, my program stop to work. When I try to build I receive the message:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Warning: Recompiling htmlview, checksum changed for htmlun2
2. htmlun2.pas (493,6) Fatal: cannot find htmlview used by htmlun2, incompatible ppu [...] htmlview.ppu, package htmlcomp

I was using Lazarus 1.4. But, in hope to solve the problem, Yesterday I upgraded. Now I'm using THTMLport package version 9.45 with Lazarus 1.6 rev 51630.

I make a clean install and It worked again. But after some time, the error came back again.

I've searched the forum and I found that the same thing happened with other users. But I cannot found a solution yet.

Please, can someone help me on this?

I really need a component to show html strings and must be cross platform (win/mac/lin). If you can show me an alternative or solution to the problem

I aprreciate any comments,

I can't compile the THMLPort package either, and I think I never could... Try the IpHtmlPanel of the TurboPower_IPro package, it comes with Lazarus and is used internally to display the syntax popup windows and the chm help window.

hello,
have you tried the BerndGabriel version HtmlViewer-11.6  here  ? 

With this version, i have no problem to install the package and run the htmldemolaz with Lazarus 1.6RC1 32 bits on windows 7.

Friendly, J.P

Laz trunk does not compile it, though...

But Bernd's site seems to be alive, unlike the ccr version. So there's a good chance that the compilation with trunk will be fixed.

Hi MP,
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!
It's working again. I hope that all will be fixed now.

Just one advice, I think that is necessary to use -dDisableUTF8RTL compiler option to work correctly with Lazarus 1.6 otherwise the component doesn't encode characters in the right way

Best regards,
Christian
